Critics point to a weak script, poor character development, and underwhelming performances, especially Jared Leto's lead role. The film is faulted for its pacing issues, plot inconsistencies, and subpar special effects. Some argue its PG-13 rating limits darker genre exploration. Conversely, a few reviewers appreciate its entertaining moments, solid CGI, and potential within the Marvel universe.AI-generated from the text of user reviewsAction sequencesAtmosphericChemistryPerformanceCharacter developmentDirectionEditingPacingFeatured reviews6AllieRubySteinEntertaining and very atmospheric, Morbius manages to serve up yet another helping of campy superhero indulgence despite many little flaws. I'll start off with the problems I had with this film- that mainly being its blatant editing and CGI. I know many people say this about a lot of superhero films, but coming from a horror lovers perspective- as well as fitting the atmospheric and tone Life director Daniel Espinosa seemed to pair within it- this movie really should have been rated R. It feels like Sony really did censor and edit this one as much as they could have, with the blood and violence being as limited as possible. It takes away from the experience as a whole, one moment in particular where a man acts like his throat is cut open but there is LITERALLY NOTHING THERE. Unsurprisingly, as with the case with a lot of films like this, the CGI can be a bit overused at times. For the most part I liked the look of vampire blood hungry Morbius taken on by Jared Leto- but other similar CGI and at times that CGI itself can feel a bit too ugly and forced for comfort. The fight scenes towards the end in particular are also overdone with CGI, and I just really wish Sony would have let the people working on this film give some life to the project instead of worrying about its box office gross. I know i've complained a lot so far, but in terms of a film- I oddly did enjoy this one for the most part. Sure it's messy, Matt Smith's character is a bit over the top and it has some formulaic moments- but it is a very entertaining film. Leto and Arjona give their all to their performances and it has a lot of cool ideas and concepts that are interesting to see fleshed out on screen- particularly with Morbius in particular as he begins to learn how to control himself. There's a lot of humanity hidden beneath the surface in this film though, even with some formulaic moments, there's a lot of depth and heart put into the titular character and it really allows you to empathize both with the film's story as well as Leto on screen. In the end, I enjoyed Morbius- it is far from perfect but it was a solid superhero endeavor and I'm curious to see what they may do with this character next.My Rating: 6.3/10.7Shellybub3Maybe I'm easily pleased but I enjoyed Morbius, it's not the best Marvel film out there but still very watchable and I never got bored at any time. Don't go in expecting an Oscar winner film, it's just a good action film. It definitely doesn't warrant some of the terrible reviews, everyone thinks they are filmmakers these days.6JoBloTheMovieCritic6/10 - I don't know what all the fuss is about with this one when the quality matches that of either Venom movie and while I didn't love the visual design of the vampires, I thought the cinematography, VFX, sound design, and Adria Arjona (who is now on my "Actors to Watch" list) really elevated the relatively weak story.6kokokiladzeSolid 6. Will be better if they make Rated R but not bad, leto was good.5viantyaraMorbius is an interesting choice of a character to add to the MCU or Sony Spider-Man Universe, especially to have a stand-alone movie. Unlike Venom, which has more recognition in general audience.This is not a bad movie. Mediocre at its best. Fun action sequences, good atmosphere for its genre and characters, but again, it's very... basic.The conflict is very predictable and overused. Somehow the runtime is too long for what the storyline trying to tell, with that being said, weirdly some moments still felt rushed.No actual character development, no memorable hero moments. The cinematography is done well, Jared Leto's acting is great, I just hope it was written better, both the dialogue and storyline.But then again, with Morbius has a possible appearance in future Marvel Movie, especially in MCU, I'm still intrigued and excited.More like this5.9Venom: Let There Be Carnage4.1Madame Web6.6Venom5.5Kraven the Hunter6.2Eternals6.2Black Adam5.7X-Men: Dark Phoenix5.2Morbius: The Living Vampire6.9Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessMorbius: Remorbed5.6Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom6.0Ant-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaEditDid you knowEditTriviaJared Leto committed to capturing Michael Morbius' limping state and used crutches even off-camera. This proved to be troublesome for the crew, at times, when the actor reportedly took 45-minute treks to the bathroom. Pushing him in a wheelchair was a loophole solution around these delays.GoofsA doctor (but probably not a Hollywood screenwriter) would know that the palm of one's hand is a very stupid area to cut one's skin for blood; many tendons and muscles run there and are obviously very important for daily activities of life.Quotes[speaking to a thug he's threatening] Dr. Michael Morbius: I... am...
